People and vehicle entry

Define accepted identification
Identify who can authorise visitors and contractors
Separate employee, visitor, vendor and vehicle registers
Set rules for badges, keys and restricted areas
Document denied-entry and escalation procedures

Material movement

Define authorised gate-pass formats
List authorised signatories
Match vehicle, document and material details
Record entry and exit timestamps
Escalate mismatches without altering commercial records

Auditability

Registers should be legible, protected from unauthorised alteration and retained according to the client’s approved policy. Privacy and access requirements should be agreed before collecting personal data.
